Wendy and I watched a couple of movies yesterday. Here are some thoughts just to fill the page.
The first was Baby Mama. It was an okay movie. As Wendy said, "It is a good movie, but over the top." Tina Fey and Amy Pohler did a pretty good job playing off one another. It had a bunch of good actors in the movie. I am a fan of Greg Kinnear, even though I don't go out of my way to watch him. The plot was dragged out so it seemed very long. The movie may have not been worth the full nine months, but maybe a six.
We also watched Slumdog Millionaire. To be honest I am not sure how that movie won awards. I am not sure how many it won. In the first couple of minutes I knew I made a mistake in watching this, but I did sit through the whole thing. I am sure that some people will like the movie because it jumps around through past and present and then finishes the story. It seemed to me that it did things just to do them and wanted the audience to catch up. I was racking my brains the whole movie and I figured what movie the style reminded me of...The Usual Suspects. The movie also got on my nerves a little bit because it was scene of boys running through the streets then rap. A few minutes later same thing. The characters were hustlers. I don't know why that got on my nerves. It seemed like I could not identify with them. All in all I give it two call center operators out of five.
Both movies dealt with love and never giving up on your dreams. If you want a couple of feel good movies then these could be it. Of course you have to sit through all the other stuff.
